This remarkably talented trio will be spending the day at Burnaby Central Secondary – working with the Concert Choir and members of the Black Excellence Student Club in the morning, then presenting workshops for classes in the Library, and returning in the evening to perform, including 2 songs with students.
This music unifies and connects people and serves as a powerful platform to let one’s voice be heard. This is why it was such an integral part of the civil rights movement. Learning songs in this genre is empowering. Singing with a group can be life-changing. Singing and music bring people together across the world, much needed in a time of partisanship – we need music that unites.
The students at Burnaby Central will explore the history of the civil rights movement and the fight for social justice. Mosely will be working with youth in the school’s Black Excellence Club and Concert Choir, culminating in a special evening performance together. Mosely is contributing the entry donations for the concert to Burnaby Central’s Black Excellence Club for their use at school.
We hope you will join us for an evening of song, celebration and joy.
